The Marine Corps paid Navistar about $30,000 more than the typical price for an armored vehicle suspension system, spending almost $120 million extra for that component, according to the complaint.
The US Department of Justice (DOJ) has fined Navistar Defense $50m for allegedly presenting fraudulent invoices and other false misleading documents to secure the US Marine Corps (USMC) Mine Resistant, Ambush-Protected (MRAP) contract.
The Justice Department said Thursday that Navistar Defense must pay $50 million in response to a claim that the company defrauded the Marine Corps in a contract modification that inflated prices for a suspension system for armored vehicles used in Afghanistan.
